The Smashing Pumpkins second album "Siamese Dream." Influenced by a litany of other artists and in my opinion the peak of the 90's "alternative" sound as they weren't grunge but had so many aspects to their sound that represents that music scene during that decade.
It's been a while for me, (listening as a whole that is) but it's ingrained on my soul and I think I could play the full album in my imagination. However now I'm going to play it for real!
THEWARLRUSBALL. Agreed. I wish they'd made more music, they could of patched together an album between their debut and 'Second Coming' then there wouldn't have been that huge hiatus - could of included 'Going Down', 'Mersey Paradise' 'Sally Cinnamon' 'Elephant Stone' ' Fools Gold' and 'What the World is Waiting for' - all absolute tunes and not on either album. Was it coz of that fight with their record company? Are they to blame? It's such a shame but yeah this album is one of the greatest debut albums of all time - fact. 🙌🎶🎸🎤🎤
The bass parts on "I am the Resurrection", "Fools Gold" and "I Wanna Be Adored" played a huge part in me becoming a bassist. All of the bass on every track, really - it's all totally killer.
I remember seeing The Pixies, REM and The Stone Roses all in one great late-Spring/ Summer in 1989.What feels special now , we just took for granted then.Great video.Thanks.
Made of Stone has one of the best choruses of any song ever. It's criminal that it wasn't a bigger hit. The album as a whole is fantastic and is head and shoulders above anything coming out now.
Man the Lyrics on that verse “I’m standing warm against the cold now that the flames have taken hold” coated with that perfectly progressive melody is just genius
I was solidly listening to metal music in the 80's, but my head was turned by a college housemate who played this for me, it was a revelation, and opened up a whole new world to me. A work of genius! As a side note, we, the people of Manchester are Mancunians, not Mancurians!😀👍
I was 15 years old when this album exploded like a bomb of melody in the heart of my generation. "I wanna be adored" lifted me up every time I was down.
Nuno, watching This Is England, I get the sense that was exactly as you describe... This band seems to capture an exact moment in time of peoples lives.
@@BobbyGeneric145 it was a wonderful time to be a teenager. No smartphone addiction, no social media poisoning our minds. Music and friendship were the most important things in our youth. Oh, and how wonderful it was to watch concerts without people blocking your view with their damned phones.
@@nunofernandes4501 sorry for the late reply... I had that experience to some extent, being a teenager in the States in the early 90s during the grunge and blooming alternative rock movement. All we cared about were going to shows and listening to great music with mates. But to be in England during the late 90s and the second summer of love, it'd be fantastic.
@@Producelikeapro not once EVER have I see him listed in a run down of top drummers....maybe because they weren't so well known in the States. I was very glad you mentioned Clyde Stubblefield though
Just wish he wasn't so temperamental or TSR might still be together! But am very happy to say I had the chance to hear him play live - just sad we probably won't again. I think he was among the best of the century and not just among his own generation.
I was very lucky to record an album at Sawmills in 1990. What an amazing place and John Cornfield was an excellent engineer. Thanks for the amazing interviews with John Leckie, Nick Launay, Steven Street and Hugh Padgham. It's wonderful to hear all their stories about those incredible sessions / albums.
I still remember hearing "I Wanna Be Adored" on a college radio station out of Charleston, SC just as the RCA distro of the US LP was hitting the States. There was such a cool drive to the track, I immediately started trying to find the CD. When I did it was a revelation. Three tracks in I was hooked. By the time "I Am the Resurrection" rolled around I was incredulous. And then "Fool's Gold." It did not seem possible that one band could span ALLLL of that and pull it off. An all time fave, obviously. Thanks for this one.
That is almost the same experience I had. Coming out of a high glossy 80's over produced new wave and metal era of popular music that first album stood out for all the best reasons the music of that time was not.
I was just a baby then so I was wondering how well they caught on here in America at the time when the country was seemingly more interested in NKOTB than The Stone Roses.
I've been an Oasis and The Verve fan since the mid-1990s, but when I listened to The Stones Roses for the first time a couple of years later, it felt like a true revelation. The sound, the songs, the attitude - like Cool Britannia before the term was even created.
I remember 1989 , listening to the album on tape in my bedroom as a young kid thinking Woooooooooooooooooow It wud be nigh on 20 years later till I heard it correctly on proper speakers !!!!!!!!! The best album ever ......
The influence of that album is still so massive in the UK. My 13 year old nephew has inexplicably gotten into music in a big way over lockdown and is proudly displaying a Stone Roses and a the Who canvas in his bedroom. I’ve packed him off with a list to listen to and my trusty Burns guitar and a headphone amp so as not to to bother his folks. Very proud. Still, better not break it, the wee shite. Amazed that a 13 year old 32 years later can instantly identify with it. Or 50+ years in the case of The Who. Great vid as always Warren
I remember going into a record store in 1989 and seeing this one in the rack. At the time I often bought albums just from the cover art (you can judge an album by it’s cover, just not a book). The store owner tried to steer me onto some other albums from the time so I went with his suggestions but also bought THe Stone Roses. It set me up for the 90s and remains in my top 10 albums of all time.
According to Ian Brown, he just got out of the way but egged them on (Respectively) to just keep on playing and there we have one of the most beautiful songs ever known to Mankind. 👍
Easily one of the greatest albums of all time and one of the best bands of all time. It absolutely baffles me that they aren’t alot bigger than they are
I listen to Resurrection every day on the last 8 minutes of my walk into work. I have done for the last 7 years. Just ALWAYS gets in the right mood for dealing with nonsense.
Another fine informative video - yeah. The Stone Roses are one off the most influential bands in UK music history with only two Albums... who else can say that?. Ian Brown's solo music is excellent too. All round these four fine gents certainly put UK music on the map. Top fella's the lot of them!. thanks for another great vid.
Shortly before the Stone Roses took off, I was in a Manchester band and the singer shared a house with Reni in Belle Vue. We also shared the same rehearsal place in Hazel Grove , Stockport and used to borrow their gear. So I got to hear the album on cassette in a car before it was released. "Yeah, very West Coast - can't see it doing anything" was my opinion at the time (I'd spotted the Love influence). A year later, they were the biggest band in the country. What do I know? I can also confirm that the Dukes of Stratosfear (AKA XTC) were a major influence on the choice of John Leckie (this was a bit strange as I grew up in XTC's home town of Swindon). The Stone Roses were never really part of the Manchester dance scene, so they and the House thing that was going on at the Hacienda were two separate approaches that kind of coalesced into one big scene. The Clive Stubblefield-inspired drum pattern of 'Fool's Gold' became a bit of a cliche as lots of indie bands found that 'there's always been a dance element to their music' ( as the cliche went). Even now I'm playing with people who have links to the Stone Roses. It all seems so normal when it's on your doorstep.
I distinctly remember listening to this album, the Pixies’ Doolittle, and Jane’s Addiction’s Nothing’s Shocking during the summer of ‘89. All three records would go on to be massively influential.
Pure magic, from a brilliant year. I remember so clearly hearing Fool's Gold for the first time and being completely blown away by just how many influences they had pulled together.
It's worth stating, for those who are unaware, that the big multi-part instrumental at the end of I Am The Resurrection was obviously influenced by the big instrumental at the end of the Beatles' Abbey Road album.
Billie Joel “ It’s still Rock n’ Roll to me.” “There’s a new band in town, but you can’t get the sound from a story in a magazine.” I found the Stoned Roses in the 90’s on a Cd listening booth and quickly bought all the Stoned Roses that I could find.
These videos are always a blast. If I do know the band, it's great to geek out. If I don't know the band, I have some fun discovering a new band. Thanks for putting me on The Stone Roses trail.
While on youtube one day I found the song I wanna be adored. I thought it was new music. Obviously I was pulled in quickly and did my research. Couldn't believe it was older. The sound was still so new and fresh. Says a lot.
excellent video, thanks Warren! I love this album, it was a real breath of fresh air at the time, the guitar parts in particular, and what a fantastic production
Yes, dude! Fantastic! I was just listening to and jamming along their debut a few days ago. I’ve almost worn out the grooves… the vinyl that is, their musical grooves are eternal.
Along with Sgt Peppers and Never Mind The Bollocks the Stone Roses first album is an album that defined a generation, there's always been a duality of bands and musicians from The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin, the Sex Pistols and The Clash, the Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses, you could argue that The Church and REM had that duality, but that formula of bored young kids coming up with the next generation of new music just hasn't happened since the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, for me it's my favorite album of all time. My first musical memories were of Buddy Holly in the late 60s and then the Flower Power Generation with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and looking at music nowadays and the way it is we're not going to get another break through of original bored young kids coming up with something new, on one hand it's sad, but on the other I feel so lucky to have seen all those generations of influence 🤗💞😘
Was lucky to be at Spike Island and catch the Roses in their prime. What a band, and such exceptional musicians which is something you only really appreciate live. Legends of the U.K. scene. So sad they couldn’t keep it together.
I've always heard that the sound that day was not good, the wind blowing it around or something. What is your memory of the overall sound in the crowd? Thx. Peace.
Ah close to my heart, still have it on vinyl, nothing beats psychedelic 🙏🎤🎸 recorded on to a tape played on the walkman to school, singing my heart out on the train years xxx that was a good time with indie music, thanks Warren
Another great video! I think the Second Coming deserves more credit than it gets though, some of the instrumentals on there rival the first record. Nice to see Leckie's pov too. He produced my mates band and apparently was more than happy to talk about all the legendary records he produced. Keep it up Warren!
One of my favourite albums, won't get old, it's a classic. And also Warren, these series is awesome stuff, top quality interviews and all the production values are top notch. Love it.
There was something revolutionary in the air in those few month's Summer/Autumn 1989 and The Roses Album suited it perfectly... the Berlin Wall Coming Down, the 'End Of The Cold War' being declared, revolutions throughout Eastern Europe, Tianamen Square Protests, the Poll Tax Riots, the Guildford 4 being released, South Africa going through massive changes (Nelson Mandela released in early 1990)... Just felt like there was massive changes going on in the world, and the Roses album really suits that time for me, musically and lyrically too in some tunes.
@@Producelikeapro Digested...delighted. Many thanks for this! Quicksilver in a bottle...Leckie helped them to capture it. I appreciate that you were able to reach out to him and have such an informative conversation. A few takeaways: * No click on the album! * IATR...."freak out" (hilarious description...would love to have been a fly on the wall when they had no structure for it...) Question: Is it typical to use so many different reverb units across the recording process? I am surprised at the number of different devices... I saw the Roses multiple times during the Second Coming tour, and had the overwhelming experience of seeing them at MSG during the reunion phase. The latter was the finest...they were themselves, the full band that Leckie describes, and it was obvious from the front rail that they were in sync. Wish for: I would love a 5.1 remastering on heavy vinyl (what Andy P has been doing for XTC). Action: About to listen to Love, Forever Changes for the first time!
15:33 Leckie used Sawmills for the Dukes of Stratosphear as well. Unless it's been sold, it's up for sale. Bring money though, there are offers over £2.25m already out there.
Me quoting this video - 'Stone Roses are one of the most important British bands of all time' Most Americans - 'Who?' Greetings from Canada, you are my New Favourite Channel
@@Producelikeapro - The first video I saw from you was 'Songs That Changed Music: T.Rex, Get it On.' Would love to learn about any of the recording of 'The Slider'. Not only my favourite T.Rex record but probably my all time favourite record for the last nearly 50 years. Thanks for the reply!
YES! The debut and the accompanying singles/b-sides (Mersey Paradise in particular) are outstanding! Leckie did some of his best work on this album. I remember reading about the Stone Roses/Dukes of Stratosphear connection. Always makes me smile. Great upload! Thank you very much!
I was 18 when this Album was released. This Album & Reading Writing & Arithmetic by The Sundays was the soundtrack to my youth. Still play both Albums toady. 👍🏼🇬🇧🎸
Still remember 89 like it was last year. Was the perfect time to discover them being 16. Must have played that album every day for a couple of years and know it religiously from the opening of Adored to the end jam of Resurrection. Seen them at Glasgow 1990 and its still one of my fav gigs. Btw check out Dukes of Stratosphere song Vanishing Girl. Beautiful pop song
I’m a yank who’s never set foot in the uk but all I ever play is the roses , smiths , new order , echo and the bunny men , and all those other Madchester artists . Must be something in the water over there ?
Second Coming doesn’t get the respect it deserves. It’s actually an amazing record. Almost as a amazing as the first. Almost. 😅 The two classic records could be released together as a double LP in hindsight. There ought to be a double LP reissue of the pair. With a bonus Spike Island 7”.
@@michaelormondrobinson Tightrope. Your Star Will Shine. Begging You. I used to think some of the songs were weak, like Straight to the Man, but they have all grown on me. I now love the funk and the Led Zep aspects. Begging You seemed like an obvious big beat hardcore rave wannabe update to Fools Gold. But now I just think it’s simply a banger and stands on its own merit. Poor Stone Roses just couldn’t catch a break in their own time. They ultimately had to wait for history to catch up. I know English folks don’t care much for the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. But I am from Cleveland and the Hall is basically a sacred temple to me. I pray to the God of Rock Music the Roses get inducted soon. The fact that the first record even exists should guarantee their place in the Pantheon of Rock Stars.
I’m right there with you. That second record is a complete banger. It’s a far more musically accomplished record, I believe ; deeper, more intense, less euphoric but equally rewarding on repeated listening. It’s got a rage in it, the anger at the time in the wilderness and the court actions. It’s a completely different expression of the same band. I love it. Still surprises.
Not only is their debut album an absolute classic, they had incredible b-sides that most bands would kill to have as their a-sides! Check out “Standing Here”, “What the world is waiting for” and “Where Angels Play”
As you can see by my avatar I'm kind of a roses fan (that's my fender telecaster with a roses sticker). I bought a guitar the same day I heard Waterfall (I was fifteen, i think) and taught myself how to play it, and then every song on the debut album. I have the logo tattooed on my forearm. This album is timeless.
@@Producelikeapro the 'sticky' in my RUclips name is from the line 'the candy floss girl, the sticky fingered boy' in sugar spin sister. heh. Seriously thank you so much for doing this album it gave me chills watching your take on it.
In "The Future is Unwritten" about Joe Strummer, Mani tells a great story. It's way deep into the extras left out of the original cut . The Clash went into The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Paul Simonon had developed arthritis that prevented him from playing bass. Joe Strummer was putting together The Clash to play two shows and offered Mani the bassist slot. Mani was on tour with Primal Scream at the time and accepted. Sadly, Joe Strummer died on December 22, 2002. So, Mani never got a chance to play any Clash classics.He said it was due to "the curse of The Stone Roses."
What other albums do you think changed music? Share with me below!
Sepultura - Roots
A few spring to mind..dark side of the moon, pink floyd...to madonnas first album..
Thanks for the great uploads!
My record will change music is the future
The Smashing Pumpkins second album "Siamese Dream." Influenced by a litany of other artists and in my opinion the peak of the 90's "alternative" sound as they weren't grunge but had so many aspects to their sound that represents that music scene during that decade.
Rage Against the Machine and their self titled debut album :)
Every note, every hit, and every syllable of this album is pure perfection.
Well said!
I could do without Don't Stop. An interesting novelty at first, but quickly becomes skippable.
Still listen to this album, never gets old.
Yes, masterpiece!
It is a really magical, its the only album I never get bored of. I think they sold their souls ??
It's been a while for me, (listening as a whole that is) but it's ingrained on my soul and I think I could play the full album in my imagination.
However now I'm going to play it for real!
It really is amazingly good.
THEWARLRUSBALL. Agreed. I wish they'd made more music, they could of patched together an album between their debut and 'Second Coming' then there wouldn't have been that huge hiatus - could of included 'Going Down', 'Mersey Paradise' 'Sally Cinnamon' 'Elephant Stone' ' Fools Gold' and 'What the World is Waiting for' - all absolute tunes and not on either album.

Made of Stone and She bangs the drums stands out too! Also Somethings Burning! Mani was just such a beast on the bass with many iconic bass lines :)
Think it's absolutely incredible the idea for Resurrection was playing the taxman bass line backwards

I've always heard that the sound that day was not good, the wind blowing it around or something. What is your memory of the overall sound in the crowd? Thx. Peace.
Ah close to my heart, still have it on vinyl, nothing beats psychedelic 🙏🎤🎸 recorded on to a tape played on the walkman to school, singing my heart out on the train years xxx that was a good time with indie music, thanks Warren
Another great video! I think the Second Coming deserves more credit than it gets though, some of the instrumentals on there rival the first record. Nice to see Leckie's pov too. He produced my mates band and apparently was more than happy to talk about all the legendary records he produced. Keep it up Warren!
Half of the tracks on the second coming are top notch
Love spreads and Ten Storey love song are up there with the best things they ever did, in my opinion.
@@mrkipling2201 Love Spreads is an amazing song, would have loved another album of tunes like that.
@@steroberts definitely. The intro to Love Spreads should be made illegal !! It’s so good!!
One of my favourite albums, won't get old, it's a classic. And also Warren, these series is awesome stuff, top quality interviews and all the production values are top notch. Love it.
There was something revolutionary in the air in those few month's Summer/Autumn 1989 and The Roses Album suited it perfectly... the Berlin Wall Coming Down, the 'End Of The Cold War' being declared, revolutions throughout Eastern Europe, Tianamen Square Protests, the Poll Tax Riots, the Guildford 4 being released, South Africa going through massive changes (Nelson Mandela released in early 1990)... Just felt like there was massive changes going on in the world, and the Roses album really suits that time for me, musically and lyrically too in some tunes.
Thank you again for the yeoman's effort in bringing us these programs!
Brilliant video! One of my favorites for sure. Such an interesting time in that dream pop late 80’s / early 90’s Manchester
Also so wild how stacked the The start to this record is...
I wanna be adored
She bangs the drums
Waterfall
Tremendous album, great video, cheers Warren!
Thanks ever so much Tim!
Yes!!! Thanks for this...love love this album....
Thanks ever so much Patrick!
That feeling when you see the creator you like has produced a video on a subject you love. Cannot wait to watch this.
Thanks ever so much
I'm breathless with anticipation to hear your analysis (clicks "play")...
@@Producelikeapro Digested...delighted. Many thanks for this!
Quicksilver in a bottle...Leckie helped them to capture it. I appreciate that you were able to reach out to him and have such an informative conversation.
A few takeaways:
* No click on the album!
* IATR...."freak out" (hilarious description...would love to have been a fly on the wall when they had no structure for it...)
Question:
Is it typical to use so many different reverb units across the recording process? I am surprised at the number of different devices...
I saw the Roses multiple times during the Second Coming tour, and had the overwhelming experience of seeing them at MSG during the reunion phase. The latter was the finest...they were themselves, the full band that Leckie describes, and it was obvious from the front rail that they were in sync.
Wish for:
I would love a 5.1 remastering on heavy vinyl (what Andy P has been doing for XTC).
Action:
About to listen to Love, Forever Changes for the first time!
Somethings burning is one of my faves
Love this band, thanks for the video Warren 👍
You're very welcome Fj!
As a manc growing up in the 80s & 90s the roses were musical gods and still are up here.
One of my favourite albums.
@@Producelikeapro thx for responding! Do you have any Bob Dylan, Queen or Pink Floyd songs/albums planned for this series?
@@NotDingse of course!!
@@Producelikeapro AWESOME! Can’t wait! Elton and Leonard Cohen are also some obvious pics ;D
15:33 Leckie used Sawmills for the Dukes of Stratosphear as well. Unless it's been sold, it's up for sale. Bring money though, there are offers over £2.25m already out there.
Yes, it’s been on the market for a couple of years now. I hope someone buys it and keeps it as an amazing studio!
Me quoting this video - 'Stone Roses are one of the most important British bands of all time'
Most Americans - 'Who?'
Greetings from Canada, you are my New Favourite Channel
Thanks ever so much!!
@@Producelikeapro - The first video I saw from you was 'Songs That Changed Music: T.Rex, Get it On.' Would love to learn about any of the recording of 'The Slider'. Not only my favourite T.Rex record but probably my all time favourite record for the last nearly 50 years. Thanks for the reply!
@@randolfo1265 thanks ever so much! Glad to be able to help!
No idea how I´ve missed this channel. Truly amazing documentary, many thanks for uploading!
Thanks ever so much
The whole Madchester scene was a breath of fresh air to be honest.
Cheers Warren, great vid.
Agreed 100%!
YES!
The debut and the accompanying
singles/b-sides (Mersey Paradise in particular) are outstanding!
Leckie did some of his best work on this album.
I remember reading about the Stone Roses/Dukes of Stratosphear connection.
Always makes me smile.
Great upload!
Thank you very much!
I was 18 when this Album was released. This Album & Reading Writing & Arithmetic by The Sundays was the soundtrack to my youth. Still play both Albums toady. 👍🏼🇬🇧🎸
Both fantastic albums!
My absolute favorite band and group of musicians.
Stunning record. Heavy rotation in my life.
Agreed 100%!
Thank very much! My favourite album ever. Producer Like a Pro is a great channel.
Haha, the Hofner shown at 12:44 is actually mine that I modified as an homage to John Squire’s original. Cool surprise to see it pop up mid video
Wow!! That’s amazing
Still remember 89 like it was last year. Was the perfect time to discover them being 16. Must have played that album every day for a couple of years and know it religiously from the opening of Adored to the end jam of Resurrection. Seen them at Glasgow 1990 and its still one of my fav gigs.
Btw check out Dukes of Stratosphere song Vanishing Girl. Beautiful pop song
ooh, one of my favs. looking forward to this one
I’m a yank who’s never set foot in the uk but all I ever play is the roses , smiths , new order , echo and the bunny men , and all those other Madchester artists . Must be something in the water over there ?
You apparently have impeccable taste my friend!
YES. This album changed my world.
Fantastic! Thanks so sharing Craig!
These deep dives are great! Thank you.
Second Coming doesn’t get the respect it deserves. It’s actually an amazing record. Almost as a amazing as the first. Almost. 😅 The two classic records could be released together as a double LP in hindsight. There ought to be a double LP reissue of the pair. With a bonus Spike Island 7”.
The second coming definitely gets even better with age. Ten Storey Love Song, Love Spreads….brilliant.
@@michaelormondrobinson Tightrope. Your Star Will Shine. Begging You. I used to think some of the songs were weak, like Straight to the Man, but they have all grown on me. I now love the funk and the Led Zep aspects. Begging You seemed like an obvious big beat hardcore rave wannabe update to Fools Gold. But now I just think it’s simply a banger and stands on its own merit. Poor Stone Roses just couldn’t catch a break in their own time. They ultimately had to wait for history to catch up. I know English folks don’t care much for the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. But I am from Cleveland and the Hall is basically a sacred temple to me. I pray to the God of Rock Music the Roses get inducted soon. The fact that the first record even exists should guarantee their place in the Pantheon of Rock Stars.
I’m right there with you. That second record is a complete banger. It’s a far more musically accomplished record, I believe ; deeper, more intense, less euphoric but equally rewarding on repeated listening. It’s got a rage in it, the anger at the time in the wilderness and the court actions. It’s a completely different expression of the same band. I love it. Still surprises.
I love Second Coming too
Tears is one of their best songs and dont get me started on the breaking into heaven solo. Genius
Thank You for making this Warren! And also for the previous Leckie interview. I appreciate the details.
Thanks ever so much
It really is one of the best British albums of all time.
Agreed 100%!

This album had me so excited for what the future of music was going to bring.
Just re listening to Fools Gold - Love it! Great video 😊 👍
Amazing!
Thanks ever so much!

amen, and amen. thanks for this!!!
Thank you Todd!
It’s just a pure and perfect album - the eloquence of the music is just amazing and every song is top level x
Well said!
Sonically it's a beautiful record. Reni's drum sound is amazing.
Agreed 100%! Wonderful drummer
I grew up in the 70's at my father's 24 track MCI studio. I like that you are so specific. I still produce concerts today. I really like your channel.
Been waiting for this…thanks 👍
You're very welcome!!
I had never heard of them before, and I'm thoroughly enjoying them now. Thanks Warren, always a treat to follow you!
Thanks ever so much!
My all time favorite band. I picked up guitar because of them.
beautiful video, mate
Thanks 🙏
I've never heard of them ! Nice, will definitely check them out later!
One of the greatest debut albums of all-time
Really, must be younger they were massive late 80s.
Check out lead singer Ian Brown's solo albums.
Fear is classic also he is a Adidas embassidor
👍
Not only is their debut album an absolute classic, they had incredible b-sides that
most bands would kill to have as their a-sides! Check out “Standing Here”,
“What the world is waiting for” and “Where Angels Play”
You'll love it!
@@Zappappappappa yes, indeed!
This is literally the best RUclips video I've ever seen in my life
Wow! Thanks
As you can see by my avatar I'm kind of a roses fan (that's my fender telecaster with a roses sticker). I bought a guitar the same day I heard Waterfall (I was fifteen, i think) and taught myself how to play it, and then every song on the debut album. I have the logo tattooed on my forearm. This album is timeless.
Amazing! Yes, I can see that and I completely understand and agree!
@@Producelikeapro the 'sticky' in my RUclips name is from the line 'the candy floss girl, the sticky fingered boy' in sugar spin sister. heh. Seriously thank you so much for doing this album it gave me chills watching your take on it.
In "The Future is Unwritten" about Joe Strummer, Mani tells a great story. It's way deep into the extras left out of the original cut .
The Clash went into The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Paul Simonon had developed arthritis that prevented him from playing bass. Joe Strummer was putting together The Clash to play two shows and offered Mani the bassist slot. Mani was on tour with Primal Scream at the time and accepted.
Sadly, Joe Strummer died on December 22, 2002. So, Mani never got a chance to play any Clash classics.He said it was due to "the curse of The Stone Roses."
Grew up with this album, great video, thank you. Is the drum sample on fools gold not hot pants by Bobby Byrd?
Thank you! The devil is the details.
I only recently discovered this album and it’s absolutely amazing! Great video!
Agreed 100%!!
